It’s been a while, several years, but there’s a solid frame of reference for long-time CTH readers to understand a tweet today from the FBI.

The tweet (link here) takes you to a file folder of a previous investigation into the Clinton Foundation (destination here and pdf below).
The MSM and the internet have exploded with speculation about what’s going on and why would the FBI be transmitting this tweet, albeit doing so under the reasonable auspices of a FOIA release.
Those of you who remember the Zimmerman case, specifically our crowd-sourcing research and boots on the ground investigation, and more specifically how Don West used the approach of “francining” to signal only those who were deep in the weeds – well, you select crew have a pretty good understanding of what’s going on here, only on a much bigger scale.

Scientific theory means a proposition you work to disprove, not reinforce…

Throughout the course of the past several years we have found it necessary to introduce new adjectives into the lexicon to describe situations and events.  The FBI investigation into Huma Abedin’s (and by extension HRC’s) email and communication is no different.

A Black Hat: is a self-serving entity, person or organization, that is corrupt, deceitful, manipulative, exploitative, and working for their own power and interests.  A bad entity.
A White Hat: is an altruistic entity, person or organization, that is foundationally grounded on truth, honesty, and clear definitions of right and moral wrong.  A good entity.
Within your life, and within all organizations, you will encounter black hat operatives and white hat operatives.  The structures of modern governmental institutions are no different.  When black hats rise to the top of the institutional structure, the institution itself tends to become corrupt; or at the very least engaged in corrupt behavior.
In the free market, black hat operations eventually implode; they fall apart, it’s a natural consequence.  Unfortunately, in governmental monopoly systems black hat operations can continue until the corruption becomes so overwhelming it eventually brings a white hat to the top. (more…)

The New York Times presents a Florida poll today that has author Nate Cohen trying desperately to frame hope for Hillary Clinton where no hope exists.

Overall the poll presentation shows Donald Trump with a 4 point advantage.  However, the real story, reflecting the full scope of what’s happening, is marginally buried in the poll internals:

… [ Trump’s ] so strong that Mrs. Clinton has just 55 percent of the vote among white registered Democrats without a degree, compared with Mr. Trump’s 32 percent.

Yes, that is correct.  Donald Trump is winning 32% of the largest Florida Democrat constituency, registered white Democrats without a college degree.
But wait, it gets better: (more…)

In an internal memo obtained by Fox News, FBI director James Comey explains the reasoning why he sent the investigation notification to congress in advance of the 2016 Presidential election.
“To all:
“This morning I sent a letter to congress in connection with the Secretary Clinton email investigation. Yesterday, the investigative team briefed me on their recommendation with respect to seeking access to emails that have recently been found in an unrelated case.  Because those emails appear to be pertinent to our investigation, I agreed that we should take appropriate steps to obtain and review them”.
“Of course we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record”. (more…)

An unknown homeless woman appeared to protect the Donald Trump star on the famous Hollywood walk of fame against various people and groups who were intent on defacing the symbol.

A series of video’s recorded the woman surrounded by protestors who took offense to her position(s). Video One, Video Two, Video Three.

As part of the investigation into a possibly illegal sexting relationship with a 15-year-old minor by Anthony Weiner, all of the electronic devices belonging to Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin are under FBI review.

As a result of that FBI review – the electronic devices used by Huma Abedin, in her communications  with Hillary Clinton, have prompted FBI director James Comey to announce to congress that issues pertaining  to Abedin now conjoin with the previous FBI probe of the Hillary Clinton, her email and her private server set up.

A 12 page memo (pdf embed below) from Doug Band, a long-term Clinton aide and business operative, has cast sunlight into exactly how Bill and Hillary Clinton accumulated wealth after leaving the White House.  The 2011 memo shows how Band leveraged corporate clients to benefit the Clinton Foundation, and the personal income of Bill Clinton specifically.
It is a rather complex dynamic to understand.  Suggest beginning with this video news segment from Morning Joe:

The Washington Post story discussed in the Morning Joe segment is linked below along along with the 12 page memo itself.

America First !

Donald Trump delivered a powerful speech in Charlotte North Carolina highlighting a new vision for economic revitalization and American urban renewal.  If you missed it, you should really watch or read it.

… […] American politics is caught in a time loop – we keep electing the same people, who keep making the same mistakes, and who keep offering the same excuses…

[Transcript] It is great to be here in Charlotte to discuss an issue that means so much to me.  That is the issue of urban renewal, and the rebuilding of our inner cities.
Today I want to talk about how to grow the African-American middle class, and to provide a new deal for Black America. That deal is grounded in three promises: safe communities, great education, and high-paying jobs.
My vision rests on a principle that has defined this campaign: America First.
